Vol. 396 No. 6
196 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Health if, in view of the recent level of public concern about the non-availability of custodial facilities for disturbed adolescents, he will make funding available to Erehwon House in County Waterford, details of which have been sent to him on numerous occasions.
Officials of my Department have met with representatives of the Erehwon House project to discuss their proposed development of a residential centre for adolescents. A further meeting is due to take place shortly to consider the financial and other aspects of the project. Pending the outcome of those discussions, I am not in a position to say what funding arrangements might be made.
